The surprise.. I was told LJ Moore and Toby Johnson. Toby Johnson is not signing today he still plans to visit Auburn this weekend but the feeling is his courses won't transfer into the SEC. This is from two different sources now and Sooner Scoop seems to confirm that line of thinking. If Toby can get into the SEC he'll go there but if not it'll be OU

Stoops is excited about this class. Excited about the # of in state kids. Addressed some major needs 7 guys for 4 positions up front. Quincy Russell is expected to present a immediate impact. In the secondary with the 4 we have "we'll see if we add to that at the end of the day"

On Cody Thomas: Adamant he wants to play football unless he gets selected unreasonably high. We believe he'll play here. Cody will play baseball here and we'll go watch him in the spring

On WR: Cannon tested well already on campus. Smallwood is strong. KJ Young and Bennet nice slot guys with great hands

On OL. High on John and Savage. Savage is so phyiscial inside. Daimler reminds them of Lane

Keith Ford: Exceptional RB, great year, can catch the ball out of the back field

Punter: One of the best jucos in the country. No one gets excited about the punter until you need a good one next year

Question

If you do lose Thomas: For the time being we'd be fine. He'll be here don't want to speculate on that.

Cody has similar release and arm as Sam. Just a athlete. Not as tall as Sam

Asked about Cody and baseball: We'll make the schedule work He'll have plenty of time devoted to the football in the old era it'll be different but we can only spend so much time with him anyway in the spring

On TE: Not in a postion where we are going to play 2-3 at a time. Likes the guys on campus. TE will be emphasized this year

Replacing Millard: Constantly looking but there isn't a lot like him

On DT: They have to be able to run and get pentetration. Love the 4 guys we got good size and speed

Jordan Evans: Projects at as OLB if he grows into a DE thats fine. We want to see where he grows into. Great athlete

Recruiting Jordan similar to recruiting Dan Cody you didn't know where Dan was going to play at first

Will give him a shot at returning kicks (kinda a joke)

Recruiting different: Its different cause of the media but its still pretty much the same

Asked about his twitter: Restricted to recruits only you guys aren't getting on You gotta reach the recruits. I won't do it publicly.

Dominque really athletic kid who can tackle.

Asked about QB job: "We're off recruiting" ha

Asked about Savage: Really physical kid. Huge asked about Shead and surgery and said "we don't think its going that direction .He's matured as person and player since going to Juco

Sees the 2014 Oklahoma class being very strong

Stanvon is a CB with WR ball skills reminds us Colvin. KJ Young is a wr but he could play DB if we wanted

DJ Ward: Looks in excellent shape running, just waiting for the NCAA to clear him (The multiple hs transfers is the hold ujp)

Asked about recruiting and changes in scheme: We told them we always tweak things, we'll look more at changes in the next month

Asked about emphasis on factors: Only difference now is having tolook at sophomore and juniora and getting into contact earlier. Thats the only difference in how we recruit

Asked about a Early Signing period: Only agree with one is if its around the Juco signing day (Mid January) so all the kids could be sure to get all their visits in

Asked about recruiting budget: "Have to spend (within NCAA rules) to do what you can

Asked about NCAA changes: If it happens OU will have a personell department and we'll take advantage of it. Might hire Switzer to come help HA any member of the faculty would be able to contact a recruit

Asked about diminishing returns of all that contact: Its something to keep in mind

Asked about Quality of the class: Compares really well with previous class

Asked about SEC: Been a lot of hot teams year in and year out

He is looking forward to the QB derby. We wish Drew well It'll be fun Bell,Knight Thompson

Asked about NCAA changes: If it happens OU will have a personell department and we'll take advantage of it. Might hire Switzer to come help HA any member of the faculty would be able to contact a recruit

On TJ, think he just wants to visit the war buzzards they can tell him over the phone if his classes transfer or not. Also didn't his team make sign with a $ec school? I am sure they didn't take the same classes but if he was able to get in I am sure TJ can. Can't wait till Moore signs with OU..

Not Safe For Work

So far today I've heard coaches compare Alexander to Lehman and Evans to Cody. I would love for this to be true, but we have had the Roy Williams comparisons for years with only Jefferson being close to that billing. I would say that this was one damn good recruiting class if those two live up to that billing.

media does not give the kids that commit early and stand by their word much credit. instead they showcase the kids that seek attention, decommit, etc. the former are kids that get rolled in the ticker at the bottom of the screen while the later gets the interviews, etc.
